Ingredients

1 pack chicken thighs (1kg)

3 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

1. Preheat oven to 220°C

2. Put all the ingredients except the chicken thighs in a bowl/jug. Whisk together

3. Using a large food bag or bowl, marinate the chicken thighs in the mixture. Overnight or at least 3 hours is best, but if you’re in a rush 30 minutes still works

7. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then decorate with lime and coriander to serve

Serving suggestion: Serve with Vietnamese vegetables, fresh herbs and rice. Yum!
